IMPROVEMENT IN NOZZLES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 154,971, datedSeptember 15, 1874; application filed July 3o, 1874.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CHARLES GILBERT WHEELER, of Chicago, in the countyof Cook and State of Illinois, have invented -certain Improvements inWater-Distributin g Apparatus, of which the following is aspecification:

The nature of my invention consists `4in the arrangement ofawater-distributin g apparatus in such a manner as to enable theoperator at will to obtain a spray, (or to sprinkle,) to obtain a jet ofone or more than one diameter,

Vor to wholly or partially shut off the supply.

Vbolt and nut and washer D, or may be held together at the margin by aanged screwring instead. This second plate is perforated with two.orifices communicating with the ordiriary rose and jet, as shown .in thedrawing, E n

I am Well aware that a stop-cock similar to that described in the devicehas been heretofore employed, and I do not claim said stopcock as myinvention, but simply the combination of .a jet and sprinkler andiiange, plate, or disk, in connection with a second flange, plate, ordisk connected directly and forming part of a hand-pipe. l

My invention is for the purpose of producing at will a jet or spray forWatering gardens, lawns, &c., and not for the purpose of producingvarious-sized jets or solid streams, as in similar devices heretoforeinvented. A rose or sprinkler is, therefore, an essential part of mydevice, and is believed to form, with the other parts, a combinationnever before used or invented, and, for the purpose in View, a veryuseful one.

I claim as my invention- A hand-pipe, A, terminating at the end fordischarge in a plate, iiange, or disk, B, in combination with anothersimilar plate, ilange, or disk, C, bearing a jet and sprinkler,substantially as shown and described.

CHARLES GILBERT WHEELER.
